The One Hundred

Today was one of those days that you wish you could just have over and over. Yes, it's only 7 PM, but it was that perfect. I woke up around 7 AM to do some reading before the Facets exam. It was in essay question format which I prefer ANY day over multiple choice or fill in the blank; scantrons are the ban of my existence. I would have to say that I have never enjoyed a non-architecture class that much in college. Sustainability in the Built Environment majors are so lucky. Afterwards I came home to just do a little cleaning. Mother's Pub for $3 burgers with Brian, Jules, Gio, and Megan. Gio and Megan are leaving for the break tom. and I would have to say I've really enjoyed getting in know them this semester; they are great people and make a great couple. I spent the rest of the day around GVille with Brian. Gator gear shopping, Union Street Market, Starbuck's, ABC, and Barnes & Noble, lastily, where we browsed for gifts, but I just ended up leaving with the latest Nylon and Dwell and a 2009 calendar for the UClub office. But while browsing I saw some GREAT books that I would love for xmas including one by Nina Garcia. It's about the 100 hundred items every woman should own. I found them listed on an amazon.com review and thought I'd include them here:


A: A-line Dress, Animal Print, Ankle Bootie, Aviators
B: Ballet Flat, Bangles, Belts, Bikini, BlackBerry, Black Opaque Tights, Blazer, Boyfriend Cardigan, Brooch
C: Cable-Knit Sweater, Caftan, Camel Coat, Cape, Cashmere Sweater, Charm Bracelet, Clutch, Cocktail Ring, Converse, Cosmetics Bag, Cowboy Boots, Cuff
D, E, F: Denim Jacket, Diamond Studs, Driving Shoe, Espadrilles, Evening Gown, Exotic Skin Bag, Fishnets, Frye Harness Boot, Fur
G, H, I: Gentlemen's Hat, Gloves, Havaianas, Hobo Bag, Hoop Earrings, Investment Bag, iPod
J, K, L: Jeans, Jewelry Pouches, Khakis, Knee Boots, Leather Pants, Lingerie, Little Black Dress, Little White Dress, L.L. Bean Tote, Luggage
M, N, O: Mad Money, Man's White Shirt, Mary Janes, Minnetonka Moccasin, Missoni Knit, Monogrammed Stationery, Motorcycle Jacket, Nail Polish, Old Concert T-Shirt, One-Piece Swimsuit
P, Q, R: Pajamas, Peacoat, Pearl Necklace, Pencil Skirt, Perfume, Plain White Tee, Polo Shirt, Pucci, Push-Up Bra, Quality Champagne, Red Lipstick, Robe
S: Safari Jacket, Sandals, Sarong, Signet Ring, Silk Scarf, Slippers, Spanx, Statement Necklace, Stilettos, Striped Sailor Shirt, Suit, Sunhat
T, U, V: Trench, Turquoise and Coral Jewelry, Tuxedo Jacket, Umbrella, Underwear, Valid Passport, Vans, Vintage
W, Y, Z: Watch, Wayfarers, Wellington Boot, Wide-Leg Trousers, Wrap Dress, Yoga Gear, Zippered Hoodie

I already own quite a lot of these items, there are a few I would never own (exotic skin bag, leather pants, camel coat), but there are a few I think I need to add to my wardrobe. So here's my updated list of the 31 things THIS woman doesn't own and needs to:

B: blazer, brooch
C: cashmere sweater, charm bracelet, Converse
D: diamond studs (I have a pair just they irritate my ears)
E: evening gown (I guess my old prom dress, but it has snags)
H: Havaianas, hoop earrings
K: knee boots
L: little black dress, little white dress
M: Mad Money, Minnetonka moccasin, Missoni knit, monogram stationary, motorcycle jacket
O: old concert t-shirt, one-piece swimsuit (I don't think competition suits count)
P: Pucci
R: robe
S: silk scarf, Spanx, sunhat
T: trench, tuxedo jacket, Vans
W: Wayfarers (I have cheap ones, but I would LOVE some good quality Ray Bans's), Wellington boot, wide-leg trousers, wrap dress
Y: yoga gear

I have to do some reading, before a mini-marathon of Three Sheets tonight. But like I said, it was a perfect Gainesville day.
